    TPP Stalled

    From this morning's Commondreams.org, a respite:

    This week's closed-door Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) negotiations in Maui, which President Barack Obama hoped would be the last round, ended Friday in failure to reach a final agreement, thereby pushing a U.S. ratification fight into the tumultuous 2016 presidential election cycle at the earliest—and raising hopes that the corporate-friendly accord could be derailed for good.

    "It’s good news for people and the planet that no deal was done at this final do-or-die meeting given the TPP’s threats to jobs, wages, safe food, affordable medicines and more," said Lori Wallach, director of Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch, in a press statement.

    Re: TPP Stalled

    I just got off a nationwide conference call and learned the deal may even be pushed back to 2017! That gives us even more time to create some serious pushback.

    Here's a short video that describes some of the scarier aspects of the TPP, TTIP and TISA.
